As cat owners will attest, most felines behave as if they were born to be pampered. Some cultures through history have treated cats like kings and queens, and our four-legged friends have never forgotten what it was like to get the royal treatment. But even the most spoiled cat can get bored with being hand-fed treats all day long—and that’s where the Funkitty Twist ‘n Treat comes in.

The concept behind the Funkitty Twist ‘n Treat is simple. Like other treat-dispensing toys, the product keeps your cat’s “prey” (kibble, treats, or catnip) safely locked away while your cat attempts to get at it. And because the Twist ‘n Treat is designed to release its contents at random, the toy keeps your cat engaged for longer periods of time as he tries desperately to outwit the ball.

Another benefit of the Twist ‘n Treat is that the toy awakens your cat’s natural foraging instincts — an ideal plus for felines who have gotten used to a life of leisure. And by directing those instincts towards the Twist ‘n Treat, your cat may be less interested in trying to get into every other container your household. There are no guarantees when it comes to feline curiosity, but at least the Twist ‘n Treat can help to channel your cat’s behavior in a productive way.

Simply put, for a fun, easy toy that puts cats in touch with their inner hunter (instead of their inner diva), the Funkitty Twist ‘n Treat is a great option.

Pros: Keeps cats engaged during playtime.

Cons: None.
